Friday Diary: SheMakes Holiday Festival

This Saturday, Dec 3 come to the SheMakes Holiday Festival

NYC

Support female entrepreneurs and eat delicious food while checking off your Christmas shopping list. There will be over 30 vendors there, all smart women like you.

I’ll be there doing a limited run of personalized hoodie sweatshirts for dogs, a business I had back in 2002, all manufactured right here in the garment district with my dog as my fit model. They ended up on J-lo and P Diddy’s Chihuahua and Sharpei respectively – and they raised money for the rescue dogs of 9/11 at several charity events. Was a good time. I have a big batch of red hoodies that I’ve been carting all over Europe and back and I’ll be personalizing them with your dogs name and selling them at the event. I’m very excited to revisit this fun project but the hoodies will not last. They are already selling out.

Hope to see you there:

December 3rd, from 12pm – 5pm
Saatchi & Saatchi
375 Hudson Street at Houston
(street level entrance on King St)

What Women Make supports hosts the Daily Muse, a group of young smart female entrepreneurs who’ve launched an online magazine to offer an alternative to the fluffy stuff already out there, one that speaks to the needs of young professional women. Their combined histories are impressive – from top schools to time spent doing relief work in Rwanda, directing a series of international affairs university publications, and working at top management consulting firms. Oh, and they’re also really nice people!
